A blog detailing my writing over the next however long. |
September 28, 2023, 9:15am Only 1200 words of the story yesterday. I did get 7 rejections... 4 jobs, one poem and 2 short stories. At least the woman I like didn't reject me again, so there is that. I think I have a third option for the ending of my werebat story. Not happy, but not truly depressing. What I do is I write, and let the characters take me where they want to go. I feel a lot of the time like the stories I write do not come from me; I am merely the scribe for the life stories of those I have created. The problem is, here I have two different characters dragging me in two different directions, and so I might have to make a call. Or, and this is most likely what I'll do, is I will write three different versions of the final chapters, see which one works best, and use that one. It means writing a few thousand words that will end up discarded, but that is what being a writer is all about, right? Killing the darlings? Oh well. -=*=- On a slightly different topic, I decided to do the Horror Writing Contest again for October.
Part of me trying to pull myself out of the mental funk she has put me in. But, if you wish, give it a go. It seems most have given up on the horror writing lessons, so I might as well do something. |
